Now you can take them anywhere!

The Expert books have never been glossy coffee table books, they are far more useful and practical than that. Whether on a bookshelf or in the kitchen drawer, they have always been at hand, ready to be consulted, telling us all about the plants in our garden or the ones we saw at the garden centre.

But that left a gap.

Sometimes we need instant plant or pest identification at the garden centre or in the garden. Sometimes we need to have the Experts outdoors with us.
